Bismarck what is the matter with the
millennium? Perhaps, as you say, that's
what's the matter.
The judiciary committee now having the
gopher-tail bill under consideration is anx-
iOusly awaiting the WOOdchuck bills, but it
feared that the hearteSs speaker will refer
them to the committee on appropriations.
Representative Gilbert is rapidly becom-
ing the Holman Of the Dakota legislature,
and If he keeps his book of rules open be-
fore him during the session he will make
a record. Thus far he has interposed
some very timely objections. I.s
The fact that the talented and eloquent
Representative Fletcher is to address q

insinuation that he tips the beaker. Mr..
Fletcher is an exceptional gentleman
The senate instituted a call of the house
yesterday, but it was quiet and uninter-
esting side show when compared with the
circuSian call which the house had several
days ago, and aroused no particular enthu-
siasm on the part of the correspondents.
An exchange says that Senator Randall
has weakness for comic opera and believes
IN encouraging home talent. Judging from
the ret orts which comes from the Odeon,
Bismarck's very comic opera house, Mr..
Randall has none the best of Dakota
statesmen.
The report having gone forth that
United States Senator Hearst's check book
is en- route to Bismarck to be placed in Mr..
Patton's hand in defense of the mines
against heavy taxation, it is hoped that the
aforesaid Pattonwill at once stateWhat legis;
lation he desires, and not cause unneces-
sary delay in the governmental machinery.
BY the way, is Mr.. Patton interested in
railroads? a1"@'l
The bill for the suppression of noxiOus
weeds in the territ ry will have lively
chase after the tumble weeds, but the
chase will be slow and plodding compared
with the recent race in the house in which
certain fleeing gentlemen were Overtaken
and reclaimed by the combination.
The bill which Mr.. Fletcher, the famous
temperance champion introduced yester-
dav, is entitled IA bill providing for the
evils of intemperance." It is the general
impression that these are already welipr0-
vided for, and that Mr.. Fletcher,s amend

CAPTAIN DOLLY.
The Romantic Adventure of a

"Genr'lly speakin', " said the Ancient
Marine, chatting between his hard palms

of natural leaf, centrally speakin',
wimmin is out Of their sp'ere aboard
ship" but | acknowledge there is ex-
ceptions, and Miss Dolly, which were
daughter of old Cap'n JADE Baker, of
the ship Boswell were one of them ex-
ceptions."
"Yes?' was my interrogative re-
spouse, as Ipushed the ancient mari
ner's pipe toward him to make room
for the foaming tankard which had just
been set on the small table at which
We were sitting.
"She were,' gravely returned my
seafaring friend, proceeding to fill and
light his pipe with enjoyable delibera-
ton, and after bref interview with
the beer he began: 81 were young
man in them days, raised in the same
t wn on the cape as Cap'n Jabe and
Miss Dolly come from, though I'd run
away to sea whilst she and me was
kids, goin' to the same school together.
And stumblin' on the Capn quite by
accidcntlike, after bein paid off from
a Dutch bark in New York, shipped
along of him in the Boswell for a run
to London.
at were plain to see from the first,
that Miss Dolly as had been goin'
regular Wy ges with her pa, was born
sailoress, but for all that she were q
lady true, and drawed the line SHARP
a'tween the quarter deck and cabin,
different from some Cap'n's wives I've
sailed shipmates with afore now,

"Well, she were the apple of Cap'n
Jabe's eyes, and no mistake, he were
proud of her, which we'll he might be,
havin' learnt her to handle the ship,
besides shootin' the sun and workin'
up a days reckonin' nigh as accurate
as hisself. And it were a pretty sight
for to see that handsome young girl a
standin' side the old man on the
quarter, wearin' a iamty cap jam
med down onto her short, crispy hair,
a givin of orders when we were tackin'
ship, or maxim or takin' in sail. Her
eyes would shine like dim'uns
bright, and we ID hear her voice a ringin'
out like silver bugle above the bel
lerin' of the wind and thunderin' of
the canvass agin the yards. Now, then,
boys, Miss Dolly's watching of you,
Mr.. Clark, the secon' mate, would say
kind of low so she couldn't hear, and
the way we'd spring to the work were
a caution!'
"Now, as l learnt from the steward,
Mr.. Clark had been the previous voyage
with Cap'n Jabe and his daughter,
which they knowed him considerable
better than they did Mr.. Carrick, the
mate, who were a year or two older
than Clark, and a han some man, which

groanin' frightful, allowin' he were
dead or dyin', or both Mr.. Clark had
his arm round Cap'n Dolly's waist,
she bein' almost in swoon at the
sight of the blood which was runnin'
down Carrick's face.

come to pick Carrick up he were not so
desp'rit bad after all, though the ball
which, lucky for him, were small
one-had went slap through both
checks, a-knockin' out u jaw tooth on
either side, which we found afterwards
where he'd spit 'em out on deck. But
he were bleedin' like a pig, so we
plugged the holes with lint and raw
salt, after which he were very properly
put into irons and showed into a spare
stateroom.
"Well, there amt much more to tell,
only that afore we sighted Lan's End,
Mr. Clark had made bold for to offer
hisself to Cap'n Dolly, which, l think,
never discovered as she cared for him
truly till she see his life in danger.
But nigh as can find out she wouldn't
lissen to nothin' of the kind whilst hel
father were in sech condition, and 50
things went till we arrived to London,
thirty-two days from New York, where
Carrick, havin' slipped his irons some
way, managed to git off SCOT free.
They took Cap'n Jabe to the Marine
Hospital, where he begun to git better,
but it were plain to see he'd never be
fit for command no longer, and when
Mr.. Clark mustered up courige for to
tell the whole story, and ak should he
have Miss Dolly, the old man took it
very reasonable.
"'She's her own mistress, he says,
'and if she don't objec' I'm sure J
don't. My seafarin' days are over,
he goes on, with kind of II sigh, and J
shall have to 90 back passenger in the

afore the ship sails, you'll have to set

herself nigh as compliant as any body

DoLLYs SLIPPER.

Dolly's slipper with it's rosette,
Once OF blue-now faded gray,
In the attic grim found it,
And dragged it into day.
With its toe so pointe 4, taper,
And its dainty heel of leather;
All! no wonder SWANS would caper
Where the slippers danced together
Where's its mater That doesn't matter;
Half the worlds as goods the whole.
You can't count a maiden's conquest
Gazing on single sole
All, me fancies they engender
Dreams elysian OF the olden
Past-tide when the hearts so tender
Melted into channels golden.
Here, the Slipper, slim and dainty,
Half reveals the waltzes gay,
Though its rosette, once SO pretty,
Now is faded, prosy gray.
Fifty years or so-no matter,
With its little mate prancing
In rhythmic sort of patter
Ger the waxen floor twas dancing.
Put the satin slipper, laddie,
'Mongst the dust again to rest
For, cunning little mousie
In the toe has made its nest.

With its mate it used to patter-
